African mbuna cichlids. You could put some labs in there to begin with and then maybe some others but realy I think you should move the fish in your 18 gallon into it and use the 18 to breed guppies. I also don't know what your 'shrot-finned and long-finned tetra' are but I'd likely leave those in the 18 with the guppies and get a few more as they need to be in groups of 6. You do realise texas cichlids get to 12" right? The firemouth to 6" but it's still a predator that may eat small tetras... You'll be needing a bigger tank for the texas soon anyway so it'll only be temporary and then you can make the 35 gallon an mbuna set-up
As for the pleco - if it's a common, move it with the texas. If it's something that stays small, leave it in the 18 gallon with guppies/tetras etc.
